Head coach Shane Steichen had already announced on Friday that Hanigan will be backing up Riley Leonard .
Phillip Rivers will be the third quarterback, although it remains to be seen whether or not he will be active.
Hanigan was signed to the practice squad earlier in the week and has been tasked with learning the Colts' offense on the fly.
Henigan went undrafted this past April out of Memphis. He originally signed with Jacksonville and was on the Jaguars ' practice squad for a portion of the 2025 season.
At Memphis, Henigan completed 64% of his passes at 7.9 yards per attempt with 104 touchdowns to 31 interceptions over 50 career games.

McKeon will provide needed tight end depth with the Colts shorthanded at this position. Drew Ogletree is on injured reserve, while Will Mallory has been ruled out of this week's game with an injury.
From 2020 through 2023 with the Dallas Cowboys, MeKeon appeared in 45 games , which included making three starts. He's caught six passes for 38 yards with a touchdown.
During that same span, McKeon has played 570 special teams snaps as well.
